> Trump, 79, wrote: “Because of the fact that Rosie O’Donnell is not in the best interests of our Great Country, I am giving serious consideration to taking away her Citizenship.” Remember folks, we are not in a dictatorship. I’m sure someone can find the section in the Constitution where the President is given the power to revoke citizenship. Ani if someone does find it don’t be surprised that it isn’t in oak gall ink. ---

> [@ekedolphin](#): > > Donald Trump goes on Truth Social and threatens to take away Rosie O’Donnell’s citizenship, calling her “a threat to humanity.” Obviously Donald hoped that this would distract his base from the Epstein files, and their wrath over his withholding them. But he miscalculated. Rosie O’Donnell may be _ **on** _ the list of MAGA-Most-Hated, but she’s nowhere near the top of that list. Donald should have threatened to deport Hillary—THAT would have made MAGA forget Epstein for a while. ---

But he’s _always_ saying, writing and posting dumb shit like this. Well, yeah, it is pretty dumb shit, not least because there is no known mechanism for revoking the citizenship of a natural-born citizen, but Germany in 1934 likely had no mechanism to enable citizenship revocation of Jews who had been established as citizens for generations. Then came the Nuremberg Laws, in 1935. Hell, I wouldn’t put it past this crowd to push for a suite of “Nuremberg Laws” every few months, each suite targeting a new socially-vulnerable group. (At least with the implicit goal of achieving such results.) ---
